\n

Participants will try their hand at translating a poem<\/strong> into English. No knowledge of another language required! We will learn by doing: explore how translation can strengthen close reading skills, deepen understanding of how language works, foster cross-cultural communication, build confidence in cultural and linguistic knowledge. We\u2019ll also discuss practical ways to incorporate poetry translation into the secondary-school curriculum.<\/p>\n

Get ready to play with language, think creatively, and translate outside the box!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
